f'ANARCHlST" PARSONS.
Yhe Kind Of Man Chicago Capitalists
~ Proposes to Murder.

General W. II. Parsons, brother of
the condemned Anarchist, A. X. Parsons,
was in Norfolk, Va, recently. He was
interviewed by reporter of the Land
mdrh and said:
"My brother, the only American
among the condemned anarchists, was
born in Montgomery county, Alabama,
June 20. 1913, and therefore in his for
tieth year. His grandfather was major
general in the Revolutionary war, and
his grand-uncle lost an arm at the battle
of Bunker Hill. At twelve years of age
my brother entered the Gaiseston Ne,cs
office, but ON the breaking out of the
war, at the age of thirteen, he joined a
Confederate company, the Lone Star
Grays, participating in many actions,
and assisting in the capture of General
Twiggs. He later became member of
my brigade and an excellent cavalry
scout, serving under me till the war
ended, when he was seventeen years of
| age.

suit of their union. In 1876 he was elect.
ed secretary of the Texas Senate, and
the following year was appointed deputy
collector of internal revenue Going to
| Chicago in 1888, he resumed his trade as
compositor on the Times, and in 1886
| joined the Socialists. He has been
nominated for alderman three times. for
Congress twice and for sheriff and county
clerk once EACH"
And because Mr.. Parsons actively
sympathized with and advocated the
cause of Organized Labor the capitalists
of Chicago intend to have him put out
of the way.

Thine image up upon rock to greet
All corners shaking from their wander

The dust of the old-world bondage, to

Nor bitter bread of discomfort to eat,
Here, where all races Of the earth are

OF old it was thy boast that men were
free,
To think, to speak, to meet, to come,

THE TIMBER PROSECUTIONS.

One of the hardest fought cases ever

lands in Mssoula county, which was
argued at Deer Lodge. Dec. 9th, on

and w. +. Sanders, +. W. Toole, and
Thos. {. Marshall are counsel for the
defendants.
1t was generally thought that the
case would be brought under the net
of 1873, and the regulations of the
land department. but Commissioner
Sparks, who is the instigator OF these
prosecutions, having lost his cases I'M
der that act last summer, has aban-
doned it, aud has brought these new
Montana cases underan old and obso-
lete law passed March 2nd, 1881, and
which no one before, except Carl
Schurz, ever supposed had any appli-
cation to the Northwest. In order
that all our readers may know the
nature of this statute. we give il in
full, as follows:
See. ., i6l, X. :. L. :. (act Mar ., 1s31).
II any person shall cut, orcalise or procure

or other timber standing, growing or being
ON any lands Of the United States, which
in pursuance Of any law passed, or hereaf-
ter to DE passed, have been reserved or
purchased for the Use Of the United States,
for supplying or furnishing thereirom
timber for the Navy Of the United States;
or ii any person shall remove, or cause
or procure to be removed, or aid or

any such lands which have been reserved
or purchased, any live oak or red cedar
trees, or other timber, unless duly author

the value Of the trees or timber so cut,
